Even if you’re not a professional designer, Canva’s easy-to-use layouts and tools can help you make your invitations special and heartfelt.

Canva even makes it easy to send and share your retirement party invitations. Whether you’re printing your invitations and sending them through the mail, or organizing through social media, Canva comes with features to get your invitations out fast. The only thing you’ll need to worry about is the cake.

Give your retiree a send off with style

After giving twenty or thirty years to the company, don’t give your retiree a generic invitation. Spice it up with our vast library of over 1 million stock photos, all ready to search and drag into your invitation. Does your retiree love koi ponds? Search for “koi” and Canva has plenty of images to give your invitation a personal touch.

Whether its colorful fish, rock climbing, or sports, we have plenty of free images to add to your invitation, with premium images available for only $1.

Keep your retirement party invitations classy

Forget the gold watch. Show you care with fancy, professionally printed invitations. After you’re done designing, click “Download” and choose “High quality PDF” to create a file ready for a print professional. Then choose some fancy paper stock, and your invitations will soon be ready to mail.

Worried about licking all those envelopes? If you’d rather send your invitations electronically, Canva makes it quick and easy. Click the Share button to send your invites via email or post your design directly to your social media accounts.

Surprise parties stay sneaky with Canva

If you’re planning on surprising your retiree, Canva can help with your covert party-planning. Operate in secret with the planning committee! Click on the Share button and choose the “Can edit” option to allow others to edit your design.

Don’t risk over-the-shoulder invitation peeking from your retiree. You can access Canva online at home, from the office, or in a smoke-filled room with your party co-conspirators. Download our free iPad and iPhone apps from the App Store or our free Android app from Google Play and you can even keep designing on the go, right up until everyone yells, “Surprise!”
